Spares for Samsung Galaxy A26: Give Your Mobile a Second Life
Hello! 👋 If you're here, it's very likely that your Samsung Galaxy A26 needs a bit of TLC. An clumsy drop, a battery that no longer lasts like it used to, or that charging port you have to wiggle to get it to work... these things happen. But don't you worry, at iLevante.com we have the solution. Here you'll find not only the spare parts you need, but also the information to know exactly what to buy and how you can repair it yourself.
Although the Samsung Galaxy A26 is a very recent model, we can use its predecessor, the Galaxy A25, to get to know its inner workings. Samsung tends to maintain a very consistent design and component line-up, so the information on the A25 is a super reliable guide for the A26.
A look at the Samsung Galaxy A26: Key Features
To know which part we need, we first need to know the machine. The Samsung Galaxy A26 is shaping up to be a very competent mid-range phone, following in the A25's footsteps. Here's what it likely has inside:
- Screen: A spectacular 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Smooth images and vibrant colours!
- Processor: The heart of the system will surely be the Exynos 1280, a reliable chip for daily use.
- Battery: A generous 5000 mAh battery that should give you all-day power.
- Cameras: A triple camera system with a 50 MP main sensor featuring optical image stabilisation (OIS) to keep your photos from being blurry.
- Fingerprint Sensor: Integrated into the side power button, a convenient and fast solution.
The Galaxy A26's screen: The star component and the most vulnerable
Let's be honest, 90% of repairs are for a smashed screen. 😥 It's the most exposed part and the one that suffers the most. But relax! Replacing it is possible and there are several quality options so you can choose the one that best suits your budget and your needs.
Types of replacement screens for your Samsung A26
When you're looking for a replacement screen, you'll see several names. We'll explain them here so you don't get confused:
Original Screen (Service Pack)
This is the premium option. It's the same screen that Samsung fits in the factory, and it comes in its official "Service Pack" box. It offers the same image quality, brightness, colours, and touch response. It's the most expensive, but if you want your A26 to be exactly like new, this is your choice.
OLED and AMOLED Screens
Your A26's stock screen is Super AMOLED. OLED technology (and Samsung's AMOLED variant) means that each pixel lights up independently. What does that mean? Well, it means blacks are true blacks (pixels are turned off) and the colours are super vivid, plus it uses a bit less battery. OLED replacements are of excellent quality and very close to the original.
INCELL Screens
Here we get into the more budget-friendly options. An INCELL screen is an LCD technology (not OLED) that integrates the touch layer into the liquid crystal display itself. It's thinner and of better quality than a traditional TFT. You won't get the pure blacks of an OLED, but the image quality is more than decent for daily use and the price difference is significant. A fantastic choice for value for money.
TFT Screens
This is the most basic technology. A TFT screen is a standard LCD. They are the cheapest, but also offer more limited colour quality and viewing angles, as well as consuming more power. It's an option if you're on a very tight budget and just need the phone to be working again.
Battery for Samsung Galaxy A26: Get that lost autonomy back
Another classic: the mobile doesn't make it to the end of the day. Batteries have a limited lifespan and degrade over time. It's normal and, luckily, there's an easy fix.
How to know if my A26's battery is faulty?
Your battery is crying out for a replacement if you notice the following:
- 🔋 It drains very quickly.
- 🔌 It doesn't charge to 100% or the percentage drops suddenly (from 70% to 40%, for example).
- 💥 The mobile switches off unexpectedly, especially when you push it a bit (opening the camera or a game).
- 🌡️ It gets too hot when charging or in use.
- ⚠️ Important! If you notice the back cover or the screen is bulging, the battery is swollen. Replace it as soon as possible for safety!
Pro Tip: On your Samsung, you can go to Settings > Battery and device care > Diagnostics > Phone diagnostics and run a test on the battery's health.
The A26's battery: Model EB-BA256ABS and OEM versions
Your Galaxy A26 most likely uses the EB-BA256ABS battery model, the same as the A25. At iLevante.com, you'll find OEM quality batteries. What does "OEM" mean? It stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This means they are made by the same company that makes the batteries for Samsung, to the same quality standards, but without the brand's logo. They offer virtually identical performance to the original at a more competitive price. They are the smart buy!
Back covers, colours and how to replace them
A knock to the back can leave your mobile looking terrible. Luckily, changing the cover is one of the simplest and cheapest repairs. The Galaxy A26 will probably be available in the same colours as the A25: Blue Black, Blue, Light Blue, and Yellow. In our shop, you can find the cover in the exact colour of your mobile for a perfect finish.
How do you change the back cover?
Although it requires patience, it's not complicated. Broadly speaking, the steps are:
- Switch off the mobile (always!).
- Gently apply heat around the edges of the cover with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive.
- Use a suction cup and plastic plectrums to carefully pry the cover off.
- Thoroughly clean the frame of any old adhesive residue.
- Apply the new adhesive (which usually comes with the replacement cover) and stick the new cover on, pressing down firmly. ol>
And that's it! Your mobile's back is as good as new.
Top 5 Most Wanted Spares for the Samsung Galaxy A26
Besides the screen and battery, other components often need replacing. Here are the most important ones:
1. Rear Camera Lens for Samsung A26
A tiny scratch on the glass protecting the camera can ruin all your photos. You don't need to replace the entire camera. This spare part is just the outer protective glass. Replacing it is a delicate but quick job: the broken glass is carefully removed and the new one is stuck on. Available to get your camera focusing perfectly again.
2. Charging Port for Samsung A26
If your mobile won't charge, charges intermittently, or the cable doesn't fit properly, this is the problem. The replacement part is a small board (or flex cable) that contains the USB-C connector. Great news is that this same part usually includes the main microphone. So, if people can't hear you well on calls, replacing this part could fix two problems at once!
3. Fingerprint Sensor Flex for Samsung A26
Located on the power button, this sensor can stop working due to a knock or wear and tear. The spare is a flex cable connected to the button. When buying it, make sure you choose the colour that matches your phone's frame so the repair is aesthetically perfect.
4. Earpiece Speaker and Main Loudspeaker (Buzzer)
Can't hear calls properly? You need the earpiece speaker. Does music or the hands-free speaker sound quiet or distorted? Then you need the main loudspeaker (buzzer). They are two different parts and both can be replaced.
5. SIM Tray
It might seem trivial, but it gets lost or broken more often than you'd think. We have SIM trays in all the colours so you can use your phone line again without any issues.
From a technician's perspective: software problems that look like hardware faults
Sometimes, a mobile that restarts, runs very slowly, or whose battery drains too quickly doesn't have a physical problem. The software can also be the culprit. Before you pick up a screwdriver, try this:
Wipe Cache Partition: This is like a deep clean of the system's temporary files that can cause conflicts. It's done from the phone's Recovery Mode (look up a tutorial for your model, it's simple) and it doesn't delete your personal data. Many performance and battery issues after an update are solved this way.
Safe Mode: Booting the phone in Safe Mode disables the apps you've installed. If the phone works fine in this mode, then one of your apps is causing the problem. You'll have to uninstall the most recent ones until you find the culprit.
If all else fails, it's more likely to be a hardware problem. But trying these options first can save you time and money. At iLevante.com, we're here to help you diagnose your problem and offer you the spare part you really need. Happy fixing! 💪
